elektrotechnik 2027
stands for innovations
In 2027, elektrotechnik will once again attract decision-makers from the electrical industry to Dortmund. The trade fair provides the ideal platform for the electrical trade and industry. Architects, planners, energy consultants and energy suppliers can find out about innovative technologies here. The focus is on the most important topics of the future: building technology, energy technology and industrial technology. Smart living, energy efficiency and process automation are becoming increasingly important. The figures also show this: most recently, around 400 exhibitors from 15 countries and 20,000 international trade visitors traveled to NRW.
Focus on technology trends
Solutions for the challenges of tomorrow: The trade fair offers the ideal setting for anyone who wants to play an active role in shaping change. Exhibitors meet a large number of decision-makers who are ready to invest. A varied supporting program invites exchange and promotes networking.
Attractive business environment
The Dortmund trade fair impresses with its representative ambience. The north entrance, the visitor passage and the exhibition forecourt have been extensively modernized. The optimized infrastructure ensures smooth operations and the best service for a successful trade fair.
Expert visitors
The high density of industrial and technology companies and the proximity to the Benelux countries are what make the Ruhr metropolis special. The trade fair audience is correspondingly high-caliber: around a third of visitors do not attend any other trade fair with a similar theme. Around two thirds are decision-makers or involved in purchasing decisions.

key topics
Two trends are shaping building technology significantly: digitalization and automation. Intelligent buildings are becoming increasingly popular. Whether privately used smart homes or commercial properties: efficiency and comfort are a must. Technology is developing rapidly. Heating, ventilation, air conditioning and lighting are being rethought. Networking is increasing everywhere. And the investment climate is promising.
The energy transition is one of the greatest challenges of our time. But it also brings about numerous innovations. The switch to renewable energies is a complex process. The goal is clear: a reliable and sustainable energy supply. The path to this goal involves holistic concepts. Networking and digitalization play a central role here. It is therefore no wonder that energy technology is one of the most sought-after topics in electrical engineering in 2025.
The transformation to Industry 4.0 opens up revolutionary opportunities. Global trends such as digitization and the energy transition are particularly shaping the sector. At elektrotechnik 2025, the topic of Smart Industry is moving more and more trade visitors. They are looking for ways to increase efficiency. Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) promise solutions. In 2025, the focus of the trade fair will therefore be on applications that optimize processes and help to use resources in the best possible way.
